Description

Celebrate Spring and Stories with a brand-new free program with The RED Bookshelf and the Discover Albany Visitor Center: Books and Blooms! Families will arrive at the Discover Albany Visitor Center, where we will engage in a hands-on building blocks activity to build your own community. We want to see what you think makes our community special! After the build, families will meet in Discover Albany’s secret garden and engage in a spirited- reading of a spring time themed story book with local author TaSean Murdock. Following the reading, we’ll meet with a local gardener from the Eden Rose Foundation, who provide handy planting tips and tricks, so we can add pops of color and joy all over our own communities. All participants who attend Books and Blooms will receive a FREE copy of a book of their own and a planting to take home with them! This event is free, but reservations via Eventbrite are encouraged in order to maintain social distance guidelines and to be sure we have enough materials for everyone. Books and writers walkthrough provided by the RED Bookshelf and MVP Health Care with local author TaSean Murdock.

We encourage everyone to join us as we tour the city and inspire everyone to read for 15 minutes each day!
